I use Chris Tan because he has taken the time to understand our business in terms of both our technical requirements but more particularly our cultural requirements. Attitude and personality fit are essential to us and Chris understands this. He does not bombard me with CV's of unsuitable people but rather saves my time by only sending quality candidates. Chris has also been quite innovative with some of our particularly hard to fill positions by providing some outstanding people from the UK.

Chris Tan Consulting has provided our business with a very specialised and unique recruiting service. Unlike other recruiting services we have used in the past, CTC adopts a genuine consulting approach and delivers honest appraisals on candidates and resourcing strategies.

Civil Manager - Civil / Structural Consultancy

I have been very happy working with Chris Tan Consulting in previous organisations to recruit staff - and now as a Director of ... I have continued my relationship with CTC.

As a Client of CTC, I have always found them realistic in their presentations of candidates and highly professional in working through the challenges of recruiting from both the Client and candidate's perspective.

I have also recommended many of my friends to Chris Tan when they have been assessing options in the industry and he has successfully placed them in good organisations suited to their skills. Chris has been a first port of call for me in large part due to his knowledge of the talent pool and the resource needs of the industry.

He is also very good at understanding the key drivers and motivations for people looking to change organisations and has a key focus on looking for the best career path for his candidates - to the extent that I have known him to recommend people to stay at their existing organisation if he feels that is the best career option for them (feedback for which they are usually thankful for a few months later).

In a nutshell, a great company if you have recruitment needs or should you want to discuss your own career or recommend a friend.

We have been using the services of CTC over the past 12 months and found them to understand our business and hence the type of people we are looking to join our Company. It is not just about a persons experience but about how the culturally will fit into the organisation. This is something that we have found many recruitment companies over look.

Senior Project Manager - Civil Contractor

We have been dealing with Chris Tan Consulting since their inception, and have always found them to be extremely straight, honest and responsive. As a busy person, I particularly appreciate their dogged determination to remain in contact with us and the candidate, in order to help us "close the offer".

Businesses need to adapt and to do that they will need to attract the right people, people who not only have the right experience, knowledge and leadership but the right attitude to accept change as a way of life.

BIM Director

This wasn't a simple role to fill. We had very specific requirements, and some lateral thinking was required to find the right candidate.

Chris's personal attention and promptness in finding a suitable candidate saved us from potentially a long campaign to fill this vacancy.

It was an urgent requirement, quickly fulfilled.

I'm very happy with the outcome.

Project Director - Developer

Working with CTC is unlike working with other recruitment companies. It's more like a 'recruitment relationship' and they're not willing to jeapordise that by recommending the wrong person. They understand the market I'm in, listen to what I need, and by the calibre of people they have provided, really want my business to succeed.

Environmental Manager - Multi Disciplined Consultancy

I have no hesitation in recommending Chris to candidates and recruiters alike.
